Perseverance

PERSEVERANCE – is about not giving up. It’s more about stamina than intensity. It’s not just about working incredibly hard but staying the course, resisting temptation and recognizing there are no short-cuts in life. It’s being tough, strong, determined, courageous, and resolved. It’s realizing that life is not about going undefeated, but about learning from setbacks and bouncing back. Perseverance comes from your gut.

How do we coach it? By standing by them, with them, and behind them; by being coaches and “cheerleaders”, and by witness of our own example.

Remind students about Special Scholarship opportunities that may be available toward the end of the year. There may be one specifically for Perseverance. Be thinking about your practice of Perseverance and how it impacts success in you and others.
